There are no medieval equivalents to YouTube channels, since YouTube wasn’t invented for at least a decade after the medieval period.
It’s not medieval but something that feels in the same Genre to me is Townsends on youtube. They do historical videos about 18th/early 19th century America - mostly recipes
I know about townsends and have watched some of their videos but I’m not a fan on american only centered stuff
It’s not EXACTLY the same, but this guy does a pretty good job of hitting the same vibes:
I was about to suggest the same guy. His stuff is brilliant.
Medieval technology is vastly more complex, broader in scope, etc. compared to the Stone Age stuff on Primitive Technology. It’s actually extremely challenging to go from scratch like he does and then achieve medieval-level ironworking. He can barely make a few little iron pellets which are excessively-hard (too much carbon) and need further processing to become workable. He is a very long way from building a proper medieval smelter capable of producing pig iron or other cast iron products.
I can offer something in between: Clickspring. He started re-making the Antikyera (SP?) mechanism, was criticized for using modern tools for this, and then started developing and using tools basically from scratch like the people in Greece could have made and used them.
Man, I love this guy’s videos. He’s got the most pleasantly chill voice (think Australian Bob Ross) and shows a great mastery of the things he makes. Highly recommended channel.
This channel is clearly inspired by John, I think he even says so in the description. Maybe not quite medieval but definitely up the right alley Edit: I was wrong about when the medieval period started, its definitely early medieval. https://youtube.com/@gesithasgewissa
I love that show, my son does too!
